. The middle one is a distressed photograph. The first one is a rescued disaster. It was a very textured background of kitchen paper which misbehaved and didn't do as it should, so it got altered into something entirley different. Well you must admit it doesn't look like a seahorse does it?

I found that with the packing tape too - you get the shiny surface left. I had wondered if there was any way around it - maybe not. Yours don't look shiny in the pics though - beautiful collages. Love the first (rescued one).
I've tried this tape transfer thing too and agree, not that impressed with the shiny surface. I'm wondering if a layer of matt gel medium would tone it all down? Love the ATCs anyway and the rescued one is beautiful.

these are as usual wonderful images Wendy - rescued or not - you always come up trumps
haven't tried this technique.. maybe I will one day - I dunno. but it is lovely seeing your blog updated, have missed you xx
These are great - and I definitely can't see a seahorse in there! Have you tried gently sanding over the top of the tape with a fine grade sandpaper or emery board? It takes the edge off the shine and gives a slightly distressed finish. You have to be really careful though or you can go right through the tape.
Good to see you about again Wendy. These are lovely ATCs but no, I can't see a seahorse either!! I have only just tried the tape transfer and although its a very successful method, I too am not sure about the shiny surface. Am off to qwuickly try again with these ideas from our experts!!
